Hm, this seems to me a poem that smacks of truth. Looking at the situation realistically some people will never be with a significant other. Some will and then lose it forever. But they can still be happy in the long run, I mean, there has to be a way. I guess they just have to have a strong curiosity about the world and maybe drink a bit more than those in relationships.

This poem was inspired partly by Pablo Neruda's poem 'Tonight I will write...', and getting dumped after a three year relationship with someone. The ending is even more poignant to me now, as I did eventually meet someone else, briefly, who extinguished the tranquility of my solitude. The whole thing seems cyclic. Women come into my life, I fall in love, they break my heart. But what else would I have to write about?
Cheers,
Craig.
